Fox News' Heather Childers - co-anchor of Fox & Friends First and a news anchor on America's News HQ - was just curious, she says, as she asked yesterday for her Tweeps' "thoughts" on the following question: Did Obama Campaign Threaten Chelsea Clinton's Life 2 Keep Parents Silent? Childers got her "curiosity" from a post on the right-wing birther site, GodfatherPolitics.com, which raised the same question. UPDATED. (H/T John K.)

According to the GodfatherPolitics post, Bill Clinton was threatening to go public about President Obama's birth certificate until "someone associated with the Obama campaign told him that his daughter Chelsea would be (murdered) if he opened his mouth.From that point on, the Clinton’s remained silent about Obama’s birth certificate or lack thereof."

As Business Insider noted, The tweet sparked quite a bit of Internet outrage toward Childers, but the Fox anchor kept her cool, encouraging fellowers (sic) to "participate" in the debate but refrain from namecalling. "Conversation is good," she tweeted several times.

Yakki, I find the misinformation and outright lies made by the media, corporations, and our elected officials depressing. I think the intense polarization of the country is non-productive at best. I fear you are right in thinking things are going to get much worse than they get better. Having family members who were lucky enough to survive true government oppression and hearing their stories, I hate the hyperbole spread around the internet. Hopefully, I didn’t come off as just another nutter. This is why I usually stick to snarky humour, it’s less depressing. Well, maybe it is.

Yakki, I agree that the nutters need to stop with the “Obama is a communist dictator, the anti-Christ, and a secret Muslim all rolled into one.” Buuuut… there is something to be said for being concerned about the direction that the country is going. Since Bush Jr, all three branches of the government have turned a blind eye to: extraordinary rendition of prisoners of war to countries that are known for torturing and murdering prisoners; unconstitutional wiretapping of pretty much anyone in the country; indiscriminate bombing of civilians, reporters and other non-combatants; elimination of habeus corpus by declaring prisoners of war or criminals “enemy combatants”; giving the President the unconstitutional power to take away a US Citizen’s rights by declaring him/her an enemy combatant, have him/her captured and held indefinitely or killed; unconstitutional search and seizure at the airport (coming to a train station or highway near you); and, thanks again to those “conservative” judges, it’s now legal for the police department to strip search you if you’re wrongfully arrested, if they feel like groping you or just want to humiliate you for daring to engage in a protest.

America may be circling the drain on the whole ‘freedom’ thing, but blaming it all on Obama is just wrong…

UPDATE: I just tried to go to Heather Childer’s twitter account to see what the bleach blonde birther had to say today but the little chickensh!t has decided to make her twitter account “protected” and available to only those who are confirmed followers. Bwaaaah!

Pretty damn funny (pitiful) considering just yesterday a person who goes by <a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=liz_harris">liz_harris</a> confronted Childers by saying "HeatherChilders But that is incredibly inflammatory and completely unprofessional. How can you post that and not expect a big response?" to which Childers responded " ..@liz_harris Liz I can take it. Trust me. But I Did NOT make that accusation. The question was the article headline. Conversation is good."

So Ms. “I was only asking” declares her toughness by saying that she “can take it” but then takes her tweets into hiding from the public? Double bwaaaah!

OK! of all the stupid things I’ve heard in the last three years this is the ultimate.From which rock did this bleached blond bimbo crawl from. Just another one of Foxes brainless blond wonders ,I’m glad I don’t have to pay this bimbo any more attention since she as of this moment
no longer exists.

I don’t know if Childers is a consistently regular host of F&F First but I do see that she is not on air this morning. Huddy and one of FOX’s rare brunettes (whose name escapes me) were hosting today.

Considering Childers herself has said that “my job here at Fox is to report on great stories”, I guess we’re to assume that she believes that this crap from the godfatherpolitics website qualifies as a “great” story?! Yeah, I guess so if, like Childers, you’re more into wacky conspiracy theories and bias opinions as opposed to the real facts and actual NEWS reporting.

Not wanting to give any more hits to a nutcase website, I didn’t go to the “godfather” to read any more details so could someone tell me when Clinton was supposed to have contemplated going public with “the truth?” If this was back during the 2008 primary season, wouldn’t it have made more sense for Obama’s people to go directly after Hillary, instead of prolonging that particular battle? Hillary had already said (in the very early days of the campaign) that she would support whoever the Dem nominee was, and I believe that Bill had also promised to campaign for the Dem nominee if asked.

If the Obama people pulled this after the 2008 convention, what did Obama stand to gain? The Clintons had already made public their intentions to campaign through the fall for the Democratic nominee AND those down-ballot Dems.

Furthermore, Hillary had already ripped David Shuster a brand-new bunghole after his mere COMMENT about her “pimping” Chelsea. Does anyone think, if she thought Chelsea was in any sort of physical danger, that Hillary would sit back and do nothing? (After all, according to the right-wing conspiracy theorists, Hillary was behind Vince Foster’s suicide. I can’t imagine that such a woman would sit idly by and allow her daughter’s life to be put at risk. The last thing anyone would want to do is piss off Hillary Clinton. Cersei Lannister—from “Game of Thrones”—could take lessons from an unhappy Hillary Clinton.)

Before that could happen, his close friend and head of the Arkansas Democratic Party, Bill Gwatney was murdered in his office and then someone told Bill that he was next if he said anything about Obamaâs eligibility.

So let me get this straight… then-senator Obama was the manchurian candidate for the greatest conspiracy on earth, and that conspiracy was discovered by Bill Clinton.

Not the FBI, CIA, NSA… Bill Clinton.

So, to cover it up, Obama hires Timothy Dale Johnson, a 50 year-old Target employee, to walk right into the office of Bill Gwatney (a super delegate) and murder him in front of witnesses, after talking to his staff?

He then has someone call Clinton (who’s under Secret Service protection) to shut his mouth, or he’s next?

Ok, let me stop right there. Mostly because my head hurts trying to comprehend exactly how freakin’ stupid someone would have to pass this on.
